The season is almost over folks!
I predict 2-1 for Columbus, TFC's goal coming from Dunfield.
The big question: Will anyone from Toronto bother going? Watching?

I know at least 4 will be there, myself being 1 of them.
Roadtrips are alot of fun when you have good company to travel with
The Trillium CUP PEOPLE !!!!!
this makes me even less motivated to watch this game. lolOriginally Posted by RedsYNWA
“Years have gone by and I’ve finally learned to accept myself for who I am: a beggar for good football.
I go about the world, hand outstretched, and in the stadiums I plead: ‘A pretty move, for the love of God.’
And when good football happens, I give thanks for the miracle and I don’t give a damn which team or country performs it.”

I think that morgan and lindsey shold play on the left. Eks and lambe on the right
this gives you speed down the flanks.
Mariner is an idiot and will play Weeeeedaman or someone else instead of lindsey
And Eks is going to play CB instead of Henry.
This would be my lineup against the SCREW but than again Mariner is an idiot!!
so after two years out of action and 2 mins plus stoppage time against Santos, you would give Lindsey a start?
I know this idea may not appeal but in the spirit of making meaningless games... uhhh...more interesting. Perhaps expanding the trillium cup to model after the cascadia cup would add something to these matches:

Adding Montreal could accomplish this and add 'interest' to the games. To take it further, if the FO sponsored roadtrip to Montreal works next year maybe they can add Columbus to the travel package scheme and make it a trillium cup package?
yea buddy!
why not? It's essentially a friendly. What better way to get back. No real pressure against MLS opposition
We already lost the Trillium Cup! It's best two out of three and we dropped the first two matches already. Columbus is a DYNASTY.
Love the idea but Columbus to Montreal makes no sense. If we were to do it with us and Montreal it'd have to be with New England. But outside of hockey, don't montrealers tend to back Boston teams? And who wants to give a crap one way or the other about New England? That wouldn't exactly be tapping into generations of rivalry and hate. The trio that makes the most sense for us is actually us with Columbus and Chicago. The centralish teams who have no real close rivals. Toronto and Chicago are natural rivals (they're practically bizarro Toronto), Toronto and Columbus have the history, and Chicago and Columbus just dislike each other. Toronto and Montreal have our own thing (the plains of abraham derby, or whatever name was picked in the end), DC, New York and Philly hate each other. That's everyone in the east except Houston, who won't be in the east as soon as NY2 is ready.I know this idea may not appeal but in the spirit of making meaningless games... uhhh...more interesting.

because unless he's been playing reserve matches he won't have anything close to match fitness from a muscular standpoint, and throwing him in there for a start would be just asking to cause a muscular injury of some sort since his body isn't used to game time anymore. practice and gym work is one thing, but to actually be on the pitch running around, you need to ease into that after such a massively long time off like he's had. I'm all for him coming in as a sub, maybe in the 75th minute or so to get him a little bit of game time before the season ends, but IMO to ask a guy to go at least 45 mins after such a long layoff is a really good way to pick up niggling injuries that can set him back even further.
give the kid 15ish minutes, let him end the season on a high, and then have a full pre-season next year to get him back on track.
oh damm thats this week I was going to help a cat out of a tree on the 28th...

The trillium cup stays a manufactured rivalry between 2 places that like a flower.
They cannot be raised to the status of genuine rival like Montreal.
If you wanted to make it regional and give it a Northern name it would still be manufactured.
I'll watch this to see them win the last game of the worst year. No reason for them winning but the game itself is a sendoff for an untold number of them.

Really its the Krew....no matter what I hate losing to them, so lets go TFC!
Is anyone going to Shoeless Joe's to watch?

Another prediction:
Security will keep a close eye on some wild-eyed lunatic swearing at the players and wearing shorts in the freezing cold until they realize he's not a lunatic, he's Toronto's coach.
